Friends, Romans lend me your ears! And validators, lend me your time!
The long awaited EVM-testnet upgrade with new features and address migration tool will soon be ready!
The process flow will be as such (all time in GMT+8):
- On Thursday 19-May, the team will launch a gov proposal on testnet (this will take 2 days to complete)
this is to let everyone know of the upgrade and vote for the upgrade - By Saturday 21-May, the proposal will end. If it passes, then everyone has to upgrade their code thereafter
- By Tuesday 24-May, validators who have not upgraded their code will not be able to participate in consensus
- The team will do a check in on Monday 23-May
The feature upgrades and changes will include:
